This is one of the more interesting threads I have seen the forums.  Thanks, I've learned quite a bit, especially about "BrightSide"--what a fascinating technology.  I was going to wait about a year after "Vista" hit the market (to give time for everyone to update their software for it) to build a new machine.  After reading this info, I see I may have to wait a little longer for the video cards & monitors to catch up to "BrightSide" when it hits.  I hope I have the spare change for it then.
